"It's nothing, I probably just accidentally bit myself. Never mind that, I need to go practice my pills."
Mo Shisheng gently pursed her lips, took the fennel and the other medicinal herbs she had prepared earlier, and went up to the attic.
The second floor was very spacious, with a large bathtub and a special place for refining medicine. This was something Mo Shisheng personally renovated after she transmigrated here.
As Xie watched Mo Shisheng begin refining the 'medicine', he thoughtfully set up a barrier around her.

Suburbs.
A dark shadow flashed by, and then more than a dozen men in black landed on the ground. The leader wore a silver mask, and his thin, crimson lips looked particularly cold.
He spoke softly, "Found it?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the clues went cold a hundred meters outside the Imperial City. It seems someone is secretly hindering our investigation," a man in black reported, kneeling before the man wearing a silver mask.
"The Imperial City? Heh, interesting. Ming Beiya is located within the Imperial City of the Xuan Yun Continent. Apart from him, no one can discover my whereabouts." The man wearing a silver mask had an exceptionally pleasant voice, and his figure looked remarkably similar to Ming Beiya's.
"Master, the Gara Academy is about to begin its enrollment process, which will make our search even more difficult." The man in black spoke with a hint of seriousness, as if the matter they were investigating was of great importance.
"Then let's sneak in. I've missed Ming Beiya quite a bit since I last saw him."
The man's thin lips, hidden beneath a silver mask, curled slightly, his tone carrying an absolute sense of danger.
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Chi Hu, who used to be so irreverent in front of Qing Luan, now knelt on one knee before Ming Beiya with a serious expression. "Master, someone on the Crown Prince's side has started investigating the Shangguan family's sister."
"Is it all sorted out?"
Ming Beiya's eyes turned slightly cold. This Ming Qiancheng really couldn't hold back; he'd already come to the human realm so quickly?
"It's all taken care of."
Chi Hu nodded, seemingly hesitant, "Master, there's something I'm unsure whether I should say."

“What happened to Sister Shangguan outside the imperial city that day shocked the Demon Realm. Since His Highness knew about it, others must have known as well.” Chi Hu’s expression was heavy. “Don’t you find it strange, my lord? The place where Sister Shangguan was that day emitted such a dazzling light, and then she seemed to have become a different person.”
"No matter what, do your best to suppress the news about her, and don't let the people of the Demon Realm find out about her."
Ming Beiya narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes slightly. "Also, send someone to deliver some cloth obtained from beyond the Great Wall to the Shangguan Mansion."
"Yes, your subordinate will definitely select the best fabric to send to Sister Shangguan," Chi Hu replied, bowing.
"No, give it to Second Sister Shangguan."
Ming Beiya spoke calmly, his gaze gently falling on Chi Hu, "Make sure to deliver it to her."
"What does Master mean?"
Chi Hu seemed to understand, but not quite. He couldn't understand why Ming Beiya would give the cloth to Shangguan Qi. He couldn't stand the woman's pretense!
"Remember, there were two people who went outside the imperial city that day." Ming Beiya slightly curled his lips, a glint of light flashing in his slightly cold eyes.
It was a radiant glow of certainty, as if everything was under their control.
"Is Master trying to mislead the people of the Demon Realm? Even if they find some clues, they'll suspect Shangguan Qi because of Master? That way, Sister Shangguan will be safe! Master is truly brilliant!"
Chi Hu was a smart man; he understood everything from just one sentence from Ming Beiya.
